Montpelier, County Limerick

It is connected to O'Briensbridge across the river in County Clare by a 14-arch stone bridge.

The first bridge across the river here was built in 1506 by Turlough O'Brien, First Earl of Thomond and his brother, the Bishop of Killaloe.

The five arches on the west side of the bridge date from this period.

The six arches on the east side were replaced by the Shannon Commissioners in 1842.
